As technology continues to develop, businesses have the opportunity of operating almost paper free! Today’s employees can conduct multiple tasks online and share documents using electronic files and cloud services. Several companies offer the option to receive billing statement via email while also encouraging customers to pay their bills online. This change in technology has made great headway in reducing waste and cutting back on printing but print is not dead!

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has provided the following facts from 2012 survey of paper use in America:

Paper accounts for more than one third of all recyclables collected in the United States, by weight.

Nearly 71 million tons of paper and paperboard products are used in the United States each year.

Each year, more than 2 billion books, 350 million magazines and 24 billion newspapers are published.

About 33% of papermaking materials come from recycled paper.
